Oh bacon--I have so many things I want to say about you. First of all, WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL MY LIFE?
To preface that question, let me say that up until fairly recently, I probably ate bacon a total of 20 times in my life. I liked it, but I wasn't obsessed the way everyone else seemed to be. Then, about two months ago, I bought bacon--like actual juicy, delicious, REAL bacon--and I fell in love with it. I then realized why I was never a bacon person, and that was because I was eating turkey bacon my whole life. .....not to hate on turkey bacon AT ALL, but it's not the same as regular bacon. It's just not. I understand it, I do, but sometimes you just need some real bacon in your life. When those moments occur, I find myself just whipping up some bacon and eating it by itself. Obviously this is fine, but I should probably start making actual meals with it rather than eating a ton of bacon and calling it a meal.
So, if and when you get a hankering for bacon, here's a list of 15 Delicious & Mouthwatering Bacon Recipes. Eat up!
1. Baked Eggs in Avocado with Bacon on Toast by White on Rice Couple

2. Bacon Jalepeno Popper Cheesy Bread by Call Me PMc
Bacon in bread? OK! This is a 'why eat plain bread when you could eat bacon bread?' sort of recipe, and it's true! The addition of jalapenos makes this a winner in my book.
